Green's budget plan hasn't directed any cuts. The Wisconsin Association of School Boards predicted large layoffs based on a Republican-drafted version of the last state budget, but it never became law.

Green's plan is to put tighter controls on spending, and it is likely that less total dollars would be available for schools under Green's administration than Doyle's. But teacher layoffs are likely to be the last option to cut costs.

The ad then shift's from Green's plans to Doyle's record.

"He stopped a $400 million cut, increased the tax deduction for college tuition and proposed a required third year of math and science," the ad says of Doyle.

WISC-TV found this claim "needs clarification."

Doyle increased school spending by $400 million more than the Republicans; the Republicans didn't propose cutting funding by $400 million.

Doyle did increase the tax deduction for college tuition, but tuition costs are up about 50 percent in four years, and a governor has some control over tuition rates.

WISC-TV found the claim that Doyle proposed a third year of math and science for high school students to be "true," but it hasn't passed.

Finally, Doyle's last claim about "getting a better grade" is "true." A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial praised Doyle's school plans compared to Green's.
